Use inverse of Boolean variable to show/hide layer

This has been mentioned here:

I am looking for the availability to HIDE a layer when a Boolean variable is TRUE and SHOW it when it is FALSE. So, the inverse of the default/current behavior. I want to do this without using components.

Use case: When a variable is true, show one frame. When that same variable is false, show a different frame.

I can get basically this by using two different variables:


but it would be more convenient to be able to do it with just one. Just give me a Boolean toggle when the variable is used to say if the variable should be inverted or not.

+1 Still need this. Being able to set a variable value to an expression would suffice.

It’s currently nothing more than a show/hide layer toggle. I want to control more, for example buttons that are icon only. Now I need 2 booleans for 1 function.

After 2 years (!), is this enough feedback Figma?

This is the biggest blocker in our orgs design workflow right now. I don’t need AI features, I need this.
